Oh Griff! If only your father had known about Trojans when he was horsing around with your mother.
I, for one, like Roman Numerals.

Except for angry notes in the office. You are required by law to use Comic Sans for that!

Interesting.
If the soapbox ever comes back, that should be the only font available.

Yay Consolas!

5 x 3 pixels[^], what do you need more?
3 x 3[^] is a little too spartan, even for my taste.

Apparently 5 x 5 and 9 x 9!

We have Windows 10 on a 24" wide screen so we need a font that is 64x96 at least! It would never do to have more than three words per screen!

Thanks for the links, always looking for fonts for embedded stuff and these are good!
They call me different but the truth is they're all the same!

That 5x3 is a rather remarkable achievement. It could be improved by not bothering with differences between upper and lower case and disambiguating a few letters from numbers.

My old computer has a 64 x 32 or 64 x 64 pixel resolution and a 3x 4 pixel font (all upper case) was used for such things as Tiny BASIC. Memory was a big issue and the font and the routines to draw strings into display memory bloated up the interpreter from 2k to 3k, leaving you with only 1k left for your BASIC programs.
My version of this encodes the full set 0f 96 printable ASCII characters in just 288 bytes and about 256 bytes for the drawing routines, a little over 1/2 k total. My font is not monospaced, so I usually get more than 16 characters per line. As a bonus, the routine that draws the characters can also be used to draw sprites.
Readability is quite a problem with this sort of fonts. You don't have a pixel to spare, but some characters (like Q, M, W, # or &) need a width of 4 or 5. I find it readable and useful enough for a computer from 1976: COSMAC Elf screenshot[^]

Thanks for the screenshot! It did some good to grow up on systems like this. CPUs are now so fast, and memory so cheap, that you get folks developing systems that need to scale using approaches like Thread Per User, Thread Per Request, or even Thread Per Object. And then wondering why the system tips over.

That's a beautiful font.
A pity the EULA means it can't be used in web apps

Webdings, it has aliens, Spiderman, the Mona Lisa, race cars...
I love those things in movies, so why not in fonts?
